Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)

Irritable bowel - FODMAP

Irritable Bowel Syndrome is an intestinal disorder that usually causes bloating, flatulence, constipation, diarrhea, cramping and/or abdominal pain. This problem can be addressed through a specific diet called FODMAP and developed since 2005 by Sue Shepard, an Australian nutritionist and dietitian. This food technique is specifically recommended to relieve the symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome and has been proven with helping more than 75% of the cases treated.

Its focus is to limit the food containing "fermentable" carbohydrates, that is to say the carbohydrates fermented by the bacteria of the colon. These foods include but are not limited to : apple, mango, artichoke, cabbage, asparagus, fruit juice or milk, to name a few.

To do this, you must follow the following three steps with the help of a nutritionist:

Temporary eliminate of ''fermentable'' carbohydrates in foods eaten

Phase of gradual reintroduction of foods to identify the symptomatic foods

Long-term maintenance phase with follow-ups
